this is a good price, right around where he should have been anticipated. Marchand is a solid first but good second line player and does it all. He's a crucial piece. Puts Lucic at around 5M per I'm guessing.

I think i'm in the boat that if Marchand gets 4.5, looch should get slightly less like 4-4.3 range....I believe Marchand has been a better overall and more productive player (especially in the playoffs) my list of players to resign now goes:

Seguin
Rask (1 year deal this year but for next year)
Ference
Lucic
Horton

Lucic past 2 years - 56G/67A/123P

Marchand pas 2 years - 49G/47A/96P

Marchand also takes a lot of dumb penalties, whereas Lucic really doesn't. They are about equal if not a slight adv. to Lucic aswell defensively. Looch is better by a good chunk.

Bit of an overpayment but say what you will...every shift you notice Marchand out there...you can't say that for a lot of other players in the NHL...and he is a very valuable piece to our team...him and Bergeron single handedly won us game 7 of the stanley cup...so happy he is here

Okay well stats don't lie, i had no idea Looch had that many assists over marchand, i figured goals but assists, wow....So looch is more productive in the reg season but Marchand is in the playoffs while Looch dissapears so i'd call it a wash when it comes to productivity and i'd give Marchand a slight advantage defensively, he has had a better plus minus and he is pretty decent on the PK where Looch really isnt.. (all my opinion obviously not trying to pick fights)
